Burn with fever: First of all, does your son really have a fever or just feels warm? What is his actual temperature? Secondly, he is probably hurting from the burn, ergo he has a reason to keep you up at night for that reason. If he's been agitated and crying all night, that will raise his temperature some, but shouldn't be a lot. Doubt infection, but dropping by to see your doctor wouldn't hurt.
